Don't get me wrong -- I still love cables and lace, but for some reason colorwork has always intimidated me. And, in fact, I don't know what made me decide to even attempt that mitten. But I'm glad I did!
So, next in the queue (after I've finished the mate to the above AND after I've made significant progress on the Honeybee Stole) will be Eunny's Endpaper Mitts. And I also want to make her Anemoi Mittens. I haven't thought about colors for the mitts yet -- I'm hoping to find something appropriate in the sockyarn stash -- but I'm thinking orange and blue for the Anemois. I'm quite taken with the idea of bright Illini colors with that elegant stitch pattern!

The mitten looks sweet! I bought yarn for Endpaper Mitts but have been too chicken to cast on. You've inspired me.
Very pretty! I've always wanted to try colorwork but I'm too darn chicken. ;)
The Anemoi mittens are gorgeous! Please make me a pair? In chocolate brown and pale blue? Please?
Your mitten is lovely! What fun colors!
How fun! Looking forward to seeing the fruits of your colorwork labor!
